Natalie Guerrero is an Afro-Latina Writer and Producer living in Los Angeles, California. After spending 5 years in traditional publishing, first at HarperCollins, then at WME Books, Natalie moved across the country to Los Angeles in 2020. Since landing in LaLa Land, Natalie has primarily worked as a development executive for MACRO and M88 across their film, television, and representation verticals. During her time at MACRO, it has been her responsibility to use her longstanding relationships in the publishing world to scout books, IP, etc. for film/television adaptation and oversee the adaptation process on those projects. From reviewing material, attaching auspices, creating pitches, supplying writer notes, and prepping for production Natalie shepherds all her projects from start to finish.

Outside of her traditional workload, Natalie has used the past few years to dig deep into her own writing and activism. After fundraising over $100,000 dollars for the families of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd via social media, her essay ON SILENCE was featured in Hungry Hearts, a heartwarming anthology of essays published by Penguin Random House in 2021. 

Shortly after, Natalie co-authored Jenifer Lewis' NAACP-nominated book of essays, WALKING IN MY JOY, which was published on August 2nd, 2022. Most recently, Natalie acted as a story consultant for Audible and Broadway Video’s original fiction podcast MICHELLE ROJAS IS NOT OK.  Along with her writing, Natalie continues to actively develop and produce Film and Television projects alongside MACRO, 40 Acres and a Mule (Spike Lee),  Family Owned, Archewell, Spotify, and more. 

Currently, Natalie is penning her debut novel, while serving as the Director of The Writers’ Colony and walking her dog, Tupac , in the hills of Los Feliz.
